    I rate estate agents along side car salesmen and utility salesmen.
    A willingness to lie and an absence of morals is a must.

    Change the record!
    My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say ;)

    So every other section of the populace, in every other profession, is a paragon of virtue?

    Yeah, right.....

    (Unfortunately, we're probably getting to the stage where references to a 'stuck record' will just be greeted with a blank look, given that some of the younger generation have probably never seen or handled an LP or a 45....)

    What is all this with estate agent bashing !!in all professions Solicitors, Police officers, Health care workers even Politicians etc... you will get good people who are conscientious and do a good job and others who do not !!
    To slate the entire Estate Agency profession because of a few who may be lazy or unprofessional just makes no sense
    Talk about "tar everyone with the same brush "!! the next campaign will be for the return of the ducking stool

    On reflection, i've edited my original post as I don't want to argue with idiots (ie markharding and Missmoneypenny)

    I think it's very admirable that you want to be an honourable estate agent. I believe you will achieve more business for both buyers and
    sellers if you are straight with people. I've had to pull out of house transactions because of the possible chicanery that surrounds the
    process. I'm left not knowing who to believe; it compromises my decision making. The result is no deal- no good for anyone.

    we`ll I am trying to learn about property bee, having installed firefox. My sidebar is full of all sorts and it looks as though I cannot delete them. Aghhh

    There is a new pre-release version on the property-bee website that allows you to delete properties from the sidebar (its only available directly from the website, see the first thread under 'support and questions')

    Please note its not an offical release as such (tho its fully operational), but also a chance for me to get feedback on how people want delete stuff from their sidebar.

    Once I and the people that have tried it are happy, it will let it out into the wild, and you'll all be able to deleted stuff from your sidebars :j

    Cheers

    Shouldn't integrity and honesty be the aim of everyone? The job is irrelevant, it's he person that counts.

    Right, as you were!
